Four tribes in Arizona have been awarded more than $8 million in grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The tribes will use Indian Community Block Development Grant funds for housing
rehabilitation, land acquisition to support new housing construction and for
improvements to public infrastructure facilities.

"This important funding will assist in the development of viable Native
American communities through decent housing, a suitable living environment,
and the creation of economic opportunities principally for persons of low
and moderate income," said Rep. Rick Renzi (R-Ariz.).
